Down In the gulch of Jehosaphat ( Itcan't
bo called a valley ) , across from Solomon's
stables , over against the Mount of Olives ,
not far from the garden of Gethscmanc
and hard by the tomb of Absalom there Is
au unwalfcd well whoso waters are clear
nnd cool. It wo save the we'll of the Vlr-
iln ; , a little below , and the pool of Slloam.
still farther down the canyon , near thu
wretched hovel where the lepers live , this
is the only water wotth mentioning In the
entire gulch , To this well the natives fare
with water pots , p.lls and plguklns , In
which they bear away the water for drink
ing and cooking purposes. These natives
ecldom bathe.
About this well young tourists like to
linger and look upon the lltho Mahometan
maidens , who give shy , sidelong glances
from their big brown eyes and spill water
over their naked feet.
From this well , thu Arabs say , the
demons , or genii , slaves of King Sjlomon s
seal , used to cany water for Solomon's
hundreds of wives and horses , who 111)ted )
and fretted on the hill above. But these
arc no demons who o me to the well tor
water today. They are real , live maidens ,
unveiled , but modest.
There was onu among them , a willowy
woman ot 18 or 20 s'imiiicrs , whoso goulful
eyes were alm.st Irrcslslblo. I only caught
glimpses of them as they were Hashed up n
younger and handsomer members of our
party , but I have not forgotten the little
'that ' I did sue.
The first time wo saw her a fresh young
Frenchman had the nerve to walk up to
her , beam on her , offer to shako hands ,
nnd when she refused he Jollied her under
the chin. Instanily her whole mien changed
The big eyes contracted , the brow lowered
the full lips parted , and through her
clenched teeth she hissed like a serpent
about to strike. It was as If a dark cloud
had come between us and thu sun. It waa
nol a pretty picture , If a Frenchman did
make It.
Thrco or four officers of her majesty's
navy , who had come up from the Mediter
ranean squadion to see the Eights , the
Frenchman i of erred to , and the writer ,
nude up the party that had gone down the
gulch that moinlng.
The outraged woman seemed to take In
-the whole company at ono Mvcep of her
'beautiful ' eyes
S.M1TTDX ON SIGHT.
Lieutenant Blank , a fine young englishman ,
six feet , and hand&omc , happened to bo stand
Ing near the well , and when she had glanced
over the party , manifestly to see It they
were nil alike , her cyfti rested apparently
upon the young olllccr's face
Of course she did not keep them there
long enough to melt the blue In his , but
she certainly slowed down , and stopped just
for the faintest Infinitesimal fraction of a
second , and then pulled out again.
I thought I saw the faintest Hush suffuse
the ruddy , eold bath cheek of the lieutenant.
As the girl started to leave her feet
slipped from the wet rock upon which bhe
had been standing , the water jir toppled as
though about to tumble from her laud , and ,
aa she ma'do an effoit to save the jpr , bhe
lost her balance and swayed toward the well.
No doubt the excitement through which
she had piEsed had rattled her nerves , for
one of thesa Orientals , when not excited , can
almost do a handspring with a water jir
on her head without spilling enough w.itei
to wet a jubilee stamp
As the woman felt herself going she put
out a foot , quickly , instinctively , to save her-
eelf , but thr > well was just wheie she was
Tailing , and she put her foot In It.
With wonderful agllltj the English office
wound a Icrig , strong arm about the woman's
waist and pulled hoi away from the well
He did not appear to take advantage of her
misfortune , but the woman being between
Jilm and the danger , he very naturally had
to draw her tow aid him Kor an Instant
the girl's face went white , and then , as the
handsome officer stralacd her to his breast
( mind the well was on the other side of her )
for the smallest fraction of a moment , the
hot blood leaped to her cheek , seeing which
the gallant Mr. Blank put her from him
gently , bowjng , and blushing also.
Immediately his fellow ofllcera gave him
hands , as hcaitlly as It he had been an Amer
ican prize lighter stairlng In a new drama ;
the Frenchman shrugged ; vvhlio Mo7en , the
thin-nosed dragoman , beat his bloomers with
his dfrty fez and roared with laughter.
In the excitement Incident to the woman's
slip and rescue nearly all of the water had

water pot , stooped to pick It up , paused and
pressed a hand to her forehead as though she
were dizzy. The Englishman took up the
pot , filled It and gave It to the girl.
Again thcae. soulful eyes wandered to hla ,
rested a moment and turned awjy.
TOUCHING THE GUIDE.
Now the guide , having left off laughing ,
began talking loud and cat neatly to the
girland It was plain to UH that ho was talkIng -
Ing about the rescue. She glanced from
the speaker to the officer , stepped forward
and gave him her hand , but with her eyes
oa the ground.
He took It In'both his hands , prcBsol it ,
nnd she withdrew it and started away
Now- the guide roared In Arabic , gesticula
ted In French and the woman stopped She
wore a troubled look as the faced the young
officer , unclasped her neck'aco of sliver coin
her entire fortune , as wo learned later
and held It out to the man who had saved
her from the well.
"Did you tell her to give It to mo ? " do-
inandcu the oillrcr.
"Oul mlbsour ! Yeshl I tell It to her that
8ho shall pay you for her llfo an' she say U
ls all she have , an' give It It is worth some
thing , " ho added , not being able to under
stand how a n.'in could bring hlnibelf to
rcfueu good UiKshecsh.
Two or tlireo long strides brought tlio
lieutenant within reach nf the Arab and tlio
next moment that Illustrious liar was rub
bing the back of his head that had whacked
up against thu tomb of Absalom , for the
Englishman had knocked him down.
Walking hack to the bewildered woman ,
and smiling , Iho young officer clnpsed the
necklace about her throat. Up went the
eyes instantly , for the third time within ten
inlnutts , anil It neemed to mo that they
lingered longer than they had done before.
When itho got them back again she set
( horn on the toad that wound away up be
hind the stables On the brow of Morlah nho
paused , turned about , and with her hands
upon her hips , Trilby like , smiled aweetly
down Into the gulch nf Je-shosaphat.
No daub * this maiden was much disturbed
over her lomantle encounter with Iho young
officer. She had tirobably never been so
near to a living , moving bolng who wore
troiucrs. Theeo orientals i > lno for European
husbands , as our heiresses pant for counts
and things , though theli pining U rarely
over appealed. She had heard a strong ,
rulndcd , ehnt-halivd missionary woman say
that Eticllchmcn .allotted their wives to eat
at Iho same table , and travel up to Ixindon
by the lame train In which their husbands
rode , though not In the same carriage , of
course The few men who married In
Franco were even mo'e considerate of their
wives In the Gorman or Austrian empire
elio might be asked to harness herself up
with a dog and haul a inllK wagon over the
Bohemian hills , but the men there were
good providers , whereas , if the married an
Arab , fhe would bo his slave , slmplement.
TUB MKLTINd EYES AOMN.
It was a little early , December , when this
cene took pjace and the few boarders at
the * hotel sat at a single long table. The
lieutenant aud I had lingered after the
others had gano , discussing the contents of
n small bottle of native wine , that was not
very good. Our places at the table made
btm my vU a vis. Beyond the Englishman
I looked upou a dead wall , vvblle he gared
over my shoulder at un open window.
" 1 cay/ ' said tha lieutenant , leaning to *
want mo , "thatWta A stunning girt I mean
at the well thls Tnornlng. "
" " I "I that thn
"Yes. replied , thought waa
girl you had reference to. I3ut I should
My , rather , tint shu was a magnificent
woman. " * i
"Ayr. she was stunning , too. "
"Well , you ought to bo a competent
Judge , lieutenant ; you've been close to the
flame. "
The lieutenant mnJIed as he made the
glasses full and the $ boltlo empty. Then
we talked on bf tltn bsttleshlp that had
parted her cable at Jaffa and had gone to sea ,
leaving six of hei * officers and n number of
bluejackets arhore.
"I tay , did you notice her heel and the
t-u've of her ankle that showed through the
slit In her dress ? " asked the lieutenant.
"Did you to' her eyes ? " * ald I.
"Did I ? By Jove , It WHS worth a year
at sen to hold her , even by accident , for one
brief momet t , to feel her hnt breath , like
the wind from Africa , upon your face , and
ho" big eyes burning Into your very soul. "
"Dsn't ray 'your , ' lieutenant , ' said I. "It
was not my face she was breathing on ,
nor my soul thnt was being burncil "
The Englishman leaned back and began
to laugh , but stopped short , storing at the
window behind inc.
" " - "she's there ! "
"I say ! lit ga-ped ,
"Where ? "
"At the window. Drink away your wlno
and let's bo off. "
"No , " said I , "not another drop for me.
It It makes n man like that. "
* * * *
The next day wo all went up to Bethle
hem. The wind had ROIIO down to the east
during the night , and now It began to rain
Across tha Moab mountains and up from
the Dead sea the wind came crying , cold and
wet.
AMONG Tim Bt3GGAUS.
I recall now how thu ralndropi trembled
on Iho ollvo trees and glistened on the ebony-
ankles of an African , who was driving
a burro across ( hu field of Peas.
"What art thou rowing ? " the Savior Is
slid to have risked ot a man who was plantIng -
Ing In this stony field. "Stones , " said the
farmer , and from that day , whatever seed
they s.-vvv , the field yields only peas of stone.
Thn wind tore away the frail curt-tins of
our carriage. The ialn swept by and beat
against the m-nuolcum monument at Hachct'c
tomb , belli mlvhlch a half dozen Ktisahu
pilgrims were hiding from the storm To
the left of the road the Held of the Shepherds
sloped down to the canyon , and now , n little
further on , we could see , as through a veil ,
the church of the Nativity , whose dome had
been pitched with sheet lead by Edward IV
Tno Turks , however , peen stripped off the
lead , made bullets of It , and fired them at
the Chilstlins
Now wo went Into the church and stood
for a spare by the isacrod sto'ic that Is sup
posed to mark the spot where the Christ
was cradled.
Beside the wall , lying face down , a young
negro was weeping blttcily Ono of the
Turkl h soldlei3 who patrol the place to keep
Christiins from lcllllns eac.il other Kicked
fie prostrate boy , who rose and went weep
lug out Into the rain.
As wo phsseif out by a back door Into abort
bert of alloy the way was almost blocked
by merchants , guides and other beggars
"BaKsherHi1" cried the beggars "Take
mo , " said the guides. "Buy oof me. " ple > uled
r meichant , "I am n Kerl-tlan " "Comu to
my shop"I been to Chicago , " said another

other , and thuy-would lav- hold of ourselves
so that wo- must heal them off They fol
lowed us to the very door of the milk grotto
and same of thorn even came down the loii- !
flight of stone eteps to tug at our coats , as
wo stood at the end of a circle of black-
gowned girls , vrl.q were worshipping there
with < i couple ot veiled nuns ,
It was still raining when we came out , and
were dogged through the narrow lanes , by
the beggars , guides and pearl merchants
Some of our party were lured Into a shoi
by a lace vendor , while the lieutenant and
t entered the carrhge , cold and wet My
companion llshcd up a half-pint bottle of
biaudv and the moment It came into light
an Arab merchant poked his head In and
asked , excitedlyk : "Whaeh 'at ? Whhk *
Glinmo whisk ; I been Chicog. "
WAS IT THE BRANDY ?
It seemed to mo that all the people of
Palcatlne hid been to the World's fair , just
as all the burro boys at the pyramids had
seen Mark Twain and had served him In
"six seven , " aa they bay.
When the officer had not given the bottle
to the beggar he began suddenly to hunch
my knee. * " ' ! say , " said ho , ga ing out
thiough the little glass at the back of the
canlage , "thero she Ls. "
I saw her , too1 , ' as bhe drew back under
the cover of a bliop , but I liked to pretend
that I did not.
"Put It away , lieutenant , " eald I. "Put
the bo'tlo ' away , and It I wore in your place
I'd take the good advice that Is put upon
medicine vials. I'd shako the bottle. "
I had my little fling at the lieutenant
from time to time , but 1 was aware that
the young woman was dcsnerately In love
with him. She had stolen to his hotel In
the night to look upon his handsome face
and had followed our carriage In a driving
rain from Jerusalem to Bethlehem and
hjck.
This was to be our last night together
In Old Jerusalem , alul when wo had finished
our dinner1 we went out for n walk. The
lain had ceased. A few white , ragged clouds
hurried up' from the Mediterranean , creased
the Dead sea and lost themselves In the
mountains of Mcab. A negro In a night
shirt was hurrying past. A hammel , under
four buahes of Kgyptlan wheat , was tolling
up the road. As wo passed on we saw some
lepers lurking In the shadow of the wall.
A long string of camels , laden with
freight , came swinging up over the hill
filling the evening air with the soft music
of their tinkling belle. Presently we saw
Mozen , the thin nosed guide , with a bundle
under his arm , coming through the Daiiuis-
cus gate. This was the first time wo had
seen him since the lieutenant chastised him
at the tomb ot Absalom.
When ho had como out of the shadow of
the arch thn Arab stopped , pulled at the
top of his fez and said , "Bon solr , "
Your Arabian linguist likes to talk French
to an Englishman and English to a French
man , , and EO avoid criticism.
"Will messeaur take the beautiful haram
( wlfo ) away vvl.Ii him ? " the Arab asked ,
peering Into the Englishman's face.
"What the devil do sou mean ? " demanded
the IkMitenant , glaring at the grinning
Kiildo.
"Ah , she know , " said the Aiab. "She say
Mcscvaur hive a beautiful ship on thu sea
n great white Rhlp , with a lamp that shines
from Jaffa to tlio Pyramid i and guna
that roar like thunder. Ha-tu-h , .Mcsioaur'
( ho was backing away now ) , "iho will be
there. When Mcsteaur stcp3 aboard hl big
whltu ship his beautiful haram will hold
out her hands to him , Take mo , Mcsseiur , '
she will say , and what will Mcsscaur do ,
who has made love to < i poor Syrian girl , and
stolen her heart from Mozen , the dragoman ? "
HUSHING THE AHAB.
Tlio lieutenant made a rush for the Arab ,
who had by this time put some ten or fif
teen feet between the Englishman and lilm-
belf , .ind who now darted into a narrow pas-
sjge > , whore it was not safe to follow him ,
oven In Jeiur.alcm , where murder is almost
unknown.
"I don't want to excite you , lieutenant , "
said I , when we were walking back to the
hotel , "but that fellow will cmbairass you
If he can , "
"Poor devil , " said Blank , "I suppose he
loves the girl , and I can't cay that 1 blame
him. "
"U Is not that he loves the girl , but he
hates you since the little unpleasantness at
the well. "
"No doubt ho Is grieving over the bak
sheesh that ho loft when wo dismissed him , "
eald the lieutenant as wo entered the hotel.
My English friend and I were pacing the
platform ot the dirty little station the next
morning' , when I noticed Moien , the guide ,
talking to the engineer , Presently the boll
rang and wo entered the little box called
thn "Finn-class carriage , " hut the train did
not stait. Looking from the window wo saw
a womin heavily veiled , coming across from
the Bethlehem road , manifestly racing for
the train. ,
The conductdr watted for her , and when
she came up > Iie entered the thlrd-clasg car
riage , next to Hi if engine.
After an hour ot jerking and Jolting , start-
lug and slopping , our train re-ached the foot
of the hill and went oipcrlng acrois the plain
of Shcron ' , "hellty-la-rope and plpltygee , " as
the 'trainmen ray1 In Texas ,
At 10 o'clock we arrived at Jaffa and drove
rapidly through the narrow , muddy streets
to the landing. The breakers were rolling
high , but the English land olllcers , who were
land sick and longed for the sea , hired a boat
with eight oarsmen and a man at thu tiller
to carry them , "dead or aliveas ono ot
them put It , to the big battleship that was
riding at Anchor about a league from land ,
TUB TRAGEDY.
They very generously offered to Uko me
with them and "put me down" at Malta ,
but I would go to Egypt , and so was forced
to decline the tempting Invitatlen and tarry
yet awhllo longer In this desolate land ,
where , when the sea Is high , ( he ships go
by , and when the sea Is low there are no
fhlps.
A halt dozen strokes of the oars carried
the strong boat so far from the shore that
It was lost In the leaping waves.
Ot a sudden I felt myself' jostled , and a
woman , veiled heavily , rushed past mo. It
was the tame woman I had seen entering the
third-class carriage at Jerusalem , Standing
upon the edge of the wall , with the water
leaping as high < a3 her head and falling
foaming Into the sea again , she tore the veil
from her face and gazed out over the
troubled waste. It was the same woman I
had seen at the well In the gulch ot Jehosa
phat.
Aa the boat rode the top ot n rolling ssa
she saw the handsome llcutcni.it wavag mo
a last adieu. A moment later the boat
seemed poised on end , and then , plunging
down , was lost to view behind the rock of
Andromeda.
The yvoman lifted her hands high above
her head , let them fall heavily at her side ,
and turned from the sea as pnd > afflco , as I
have ever looked upon.
And now as she turned to go she saw
before her the grinning guide who had so
cruelly deceived her ; carry-Ing lave message. !
to her that the Englishman had not sent.
Instantly her face was white with rage ,
With a sw Ift movement she drewa dagger
from her dress , drove It to the Arab's heart ,
and as he reeled and fell , she hurried away
up the narrow street. Two or three men
tutncd and looked after her , but no ccio fol
lowed her
I don't know what they did with her. If
the killing had been done by a man the
brother of the victim might go and slay the
slayer with Impunity ; but being a woman ,
she will probibly bo suffered to go her way.
There are others but none "just ns good"

By the escape ot the Rev. G. F. B. Howard
from the Columbus penitentiary last week ,
says the Philadelphia Times , the slickest
swindler of the present ago 'lipped through
the fingers of justice , and he Is liable to
glvo the authorities a long chase before he
Is retaken Howard was alto known as
\\llllam Lord Moore. Edward Ross , Joseph
Ledger and a chain of other names too
numerous to mention. He was thu moot
famous convict confined behind the walls
of the Ohio prison since the incarceration of
the Morgan raiders In 1S03. and male his
escape from the Institution some time be
tween midnight and daylight. How , where
and at what hour he went are questions the
olllclals are trying to solve.
Howard's arrest and conviction cost the
United States government $75,000. Skilled
detectives chisod him all over this country
and England , and for three years ho suc-
( essfully outwitted them at every point. No
sooner did they arrest him than the wily
swindler would secure his release throuch
snnio technicality of the law. Ho argued his
own case and the majority of times carried
tils points.
Under the aliases ot E. Ross and Joseph
Ledgci In New York. William Lord Moore In
Liverpool and G. F B. Howard In Jackson
lenn , this daring criminal conducted three
> t the greatest swindling operations ever
operated in this country , collecting several
thousand dollars from people ID all parts of
the United States , promising them enough
wraith to bankrupt England. The govern
ment authorities came near getting him In
1 ! > 93 , and he was run out of England In Feb
ruary , 1S92 when Minister Robert T. Lin
coln sent Mr Hodson of the American lega
tion nnd Inspector Forest of Scotland Yard
to hl < 5 place of business at No. 5 Ingersoll
l'l\ \ Tlloro hc signed the agreement ns
vMlllom Lord Moore to quit the business.
Howard : then went to Jackson , Tenn. , and
began to send out letters to his former vic
tims , and when money began to come In
freelv he went to Chicago to attend the
vvorlds fair , ard was there arrested on a
telegram from Postofllce Inspector Little ,
who entered Howard's office and discovered
two or three bushels of old correspondence of
Mooie , Ross and Ledger. Eight bills of In
dictment weie found , charging him with
using the malls for the purpose of defraud
ing the public The
trial lasted nearly a
month and resulted In a disagreement the
jury standing ten for conviction and two for
acquittal.
Dm Ing this trial some very sensational
evidence was brought out. the government
-haiglng that the defendant had operated
ho claim agency business in London under
the name of William Lord Moore and put
'nspcctor Frank C. Forest of Scotland Yard
211 the stand , who swore that Howard snrt
Moore were one and the same man. Frost
produced the agreement to "quit the. claims
business. " The government charges that
after Moore was forced -to close In London
'ie did the same class of builnc s In New
Yoik under the names of Joseph Ledger and
E Hess , and brought mall carriers and
otheis from that city who identified him as
both Ledger rrul Ross As a result of a
second trial Howard was given nine In
thn nl.In nn. , ! . , * I . . . . . . years
, .
Howard has the courtly bearing and man
ner of a Chesterfield , and upon his arrival
at the penitentiary had no trouble In win
ning favor will * the officials He was made
editor of the Penitentiary News , the prison
paper , and with this came many privileges
among them being permits to sleep In the
printing office and to go to the front ot the
prison whenever ho chose to do so.
Many months Howard soent ln planning j
an escape. Ills opportunity came when '
guards were scarce and he quietly dropped
out of sight. Nothing has been heard from
him since and It Is believed that ho had hla
plans carefully laid for a successful escape
and that ho had assistance on the outside
Howard was born In ndmontnn England ,
and his mother , who he claimed was a
begum of India , died when he was a year
oU From her he claims to Inherit the title
of Prlnco of Pragaya and his wonderful
hypnotic power His father Is a retired
London policeman. Ho became a sailor and
landed In Now York In 187.1 Under the
name of Frederick Ilowlctt ho enlisted tn
the United States navy. He deserted nnd
next turned up In South Carolina , where ho
taught a negro school In quick succession
he was Justice of the peace , lawyer and BCC-
tlnn land and finally was admitted to the
hotibc of Alexander Stevens , Hero ho re
sumed the practice of law under the name of
Hewlett and a Mrs Brown , a widow , came
on the erene as his wife. The two were com
pelled to leave town ,
Under the name of Frederick Howard he
practiced law In Georgia , tiught school and
finally married a sister of Cnngrepsnian
Cahhlness l.U Atlanta ho got Into the min
istry. Ho took a high rank and was called

moril philosophy was offered to him and the
rtar of Howard was In the ascendancy. The
University of Alabama conferred the degree

the True Baptist , and was an aggressive cd.
Itor He sued the eJltor of the Jackson
Blade for $50,000 damages for definition of
character and got 1 cent damages. He went
to Europe , came back acaln and waa finally
caught In hla big swindle.
Whether charlatan or fanitlc. Dr. Howard
is a mcst remarkable person. Strange tales
have been told of him , and stranger ones yet
of the power ho has secured over those who
hive adopted his creed , But through them
all there Is the clink of gold , and It wat > this

ANTHONY HOPE
AUTHOR OF

Has completed a New Story of Love , Intrigue ,
and Devoted Gallantry , entitled
IMON DALE"
ftK
A ROMANCE OP TIIH STIRRING 'UMliS OF * K-
C1IARLHS II.
For serial publication in I-lftccn Int-tullmcnts , in the

THE STORY.
Anthony Hope's mastery of witty and in
imitably graceful dialogue , as well as his wonder
ful skill in the weaving of a dramatic talc , is ad
mirably displayed in this new story of ingenious
construction and sustained interest. Few stories ,
even of Mr. Hope's , are more replete with inci f
dent , more rapid in movement , or deal more ft
picturesquely with a group of historical characters
than this of "Simon Dale. "
The period is one peculiarly suited to the au i'i
thor's genius. The hero moves in the romantic
days oT Charles II , and his fortunes are entangled #
with those of the dissolute Stuart , and of Louis XIV
of France. A. witch's prophecy at his birth has
foretold that "he \ \ ill love what the King loves , it
know what the King hides , and drink from the
King's cup. " How Simon is bewitched with itt
saucy Nell Gwyn , but is at heart faithful to his t
first love ; how he bears himself like an honest
gentleman through all the court intrigues ; how
he defends his lady with a wit and with a sword -r
point equally keen , to win her to himself at last ,
Mr. Hope tells in a brilliant series of vividly pic *
turesque scenes. ri

who will i egret to hear of the death of Judge
Constantlne B Kllgoic , at Aidmoio , I T.
For eight years "Buck" Kllgorc was a nota
ble man at the national capital. In person
he was the typical Toxan. Above six feet
tall , above sixteen stone In weight above
the average congressman In ability above
the average man In sincerity , straight as an
Indian and stiong as an ox , "Buck" Kll-
gore was a maiked man wherever he ap
peared. It wan the Kicking down nf the
door leading from the lejjlBlatlvi ) chamber to
the house lobby that gave htm notoriety.
H was characteristic ot the man. ik > wantrd
to go Into the lobby , the messenger shut ( he
door In his face , hi- know he had a light
to go Into the lobby. Ho rnlscd his foot ,
clothed In an enormous cowhide bout and
kicked tlio door down and went his way ,
The notoriety that attached to him on ac
count of thu act was always ilistnuteful to
him
Cxccpt Dick Blnml and Amos Cummings ,
there was no more ilemocutlc looking nun
in congicts. The boys on the avenue called
him "Buck , " and after ho kicked tha door
down ovciy gamin In Washington warf am
bitious to rhino his boots. Many uf Hicm
boa-tod of the honor. Kllgoru did not have
hlH boots Hhlned every day. When he first
landed he took looms on C street , not far
from the capital. After hrcakfau he wont
out for a stroll A rolored boy proposed a
Hlilno. "Wlut's your name ? " asked 'Buck , "
"Gcorgo Washington " leplled the boy. "H'o
an honor I did not expect , " rojolncd Kllgoie ;
"you can pitch light In. " During the whole
bcsslon "IH-clt" would walk half a do/en
squares to f-'lvo that boy the Job of ahlnlng
his boats.
During the war hn was ordered homo to
assist in gathering up home dcrortcr3 Ono
evening about dusk ho wau nut In the ruunlry
In quest nf a deserter who li.nl hr-en oil ! the
"layout" for a year Ho was vety hungty
and very weary Hn called at , i hoimu by the
roadside and there ho found a woman just
taking from tlio spit a nicely lit oiled chicken.
The oavor of the fowl made him ravenous. He
had a Mexican dollar In hU pockti. which ho
had carried for years and to which he was
much attached , but hn waa bound to IUM.S
that chicken , and ho pulled out the dollar
and proposed a trade thu coin for the fowl ,
The lady salt ! the chicken was for a Ble-k
friend and that she could not neil it.
"But , " uhe continued , "I'll Jump you for
It. "
"What do you mean ? " said Buck.
"I mean tliut wa will BOO which can jump
furtlu-Bt from this dooralll out Into the yard ,
and the one of us that beau shall have both
chicken and dollar. "
"All right ; that suits mo exactly , " eald
Buck The dollar was placid on the dish
beside the chicken and his gun WOK leaned
against the wall by the door , and Buck
slung his arms and madeji trcmendoUH leap
of OVHI < twelve feet. He recovered with dif
ficulty , and when IIP turnpd to the door there
wan the lady with hla cocked gun In her
liandu , with the hut against her shoulder
and finger on the trigger ,
"Now , you just lllrt ( he gravel down that
road , young man , " f.lio ordcicd.
Theio waa ihoot In her ejusanlbuck and
ball" in the gun. So "fluey1 "flirted the
gravel , " hla bosom swollen with Impotent
rage and hits mouth overflowing with eloquent
profanity.
By this time It wa darl ; , Over In a field
"Duck" opl&d a gin hbutc. He went to It
and climbed Into the loft , laid down ou the
floor and soon was fast asleep. ( After a thno
ho was awakened by voices down below. Ho
listened and made the discovery that ono was
a female , voice , and a moment later ho real-
I/ed that she was relating the "jumping"
episode to Iier companion , who gave vent to
leal after peal of laiiglitor. There wore the
chicken and his < lollar which he could sou
by the light of the taliuw dip. Peering about
he saw Ills gun also There was a big hole
In the door of the loft and jiibt as the man
took hold ot the dloh to eat the chicken
"Buck" plunged through tint hole and seized
his gun. Befoic they recovered from their
astonishment ' Duck i oared out : "Madame ,
you just nirt the gravel back homo , and as
for this gentleman , he nnd I will llirt gravel
to the office ot the provost marshal. He Is
the deserter I have been after for a week. "
Tncro was shoot In "Buck's" eye now The
woman left. "Buck" rosovuicd his dollar ,
ate the chicken and befoie midnight sur
rendered his prisoner to the provost marshal.
It was worth a journey across the continent
to hear "Buck" tell the stoiy.
